So yeah I’m a sucker for British rock / post-punk. I’ve loved The Vaccines from the first listen I heard “Post Break-Up Sex” back in 2010. Their last album continued me jamming right on through and I’m amped to be able to add a third to the catalog.

The first 2 singles deliver very different sounds. Handsome is very much a continuation of the “Come of Age” sound, where Dream Love is a much larger, almost ballad sound. I think many, myself included, will hear some sound that feels influenced by the latest Arctic Monkeys album in the Dream Lover track. Something I feel makes a very nice fit.

In simple, The Vaccines is straightforward British Rock here to rough you up a bit and I couldn’t be happier about it.

I live in Denver, Colorado and am the lead Informant of SlyVinyl. I collect vinyl because I love giving back to the artists and getting a physical piece of music history in return is a beautiful bonus. I mainly listen to wax while relaxing after working a long day at Wick Creative, where I spend much time currently. As a side note, It should be known that I will never understand why someone would pre-order mp3s from iTunes... just sayin.
